It has taken us a solid 5 weeks to finally figure out where we should be working. BUT, the search has ended and we are working more in these Becos (alleys/ dead end streets) and we have be finding people like never before. I am realizing how blessed I am and how fortunate I have been my whole life. A lot of people dont have a whole lot, but they are the nicest people I have met and I just want them to have even more happiness through the gospel!
This week we met mom Kelly and daughter Jennifer, and get this. They are both pregnant!! With only a month difference. Its like those movies where the mom and daughter and pregnant at the same time, except its real. Lol. We taught them once this past week and we marked to come back tomorrow! They are so awesome and accepting and I am super excited about them.
Then we went on to the next Beco where we met Rafael, who has read the entire Book of Mormon!?! He met with the missionaries over 15 years ago and remembered about the lamanites and Alma and I was literally in shock, quase jumping with glee over the fact that we have found our golden investigator. BUT, he said that he knows alot about the church and almost accept us. BUT. He told us that we could call him and set up an appointment and I know that good things are about to come.
It is so funny because whenever people have already met with the missionaries they almost always remember their names and it makes me happy. I know that people are being prepared to accept the gospel. I love my savior and the opportunity to share the gospel with the amazing people of Brasil. There is nothing that I would rather be doing!
I hope you all have an amazing week and remember to read your scriptures and say your prayers. I know that God hears and answers us and wants us to have eternal joy.
A grande abraço,
Sister Albertoni
